ICD-10 Medical Coding

ICD-10 is an upgraded diagnostic and procedural medical coding system that, by law, must be implemented throughout the healthcare industry by October 1, 2015. This new coding system is radically different from the version currently in use, so it’s important to start preparing for and implementing the massive changes to the existing coding system.

This online program offers you comprehensive, robust training in diagnostic and procedural coding, using the ICD-10-CM (diagnostic) and ICD-10-PCS (procedural) coding manuals. This training includes detailed instructions for using the coding manuals, understanding the coding guidelines, and accurately applying the ICD-10 coding steps. There are more than 40 quizzes and exams for diagnoses and procedures by body system to test your knowledge and understanding.

In addition, you will find information on the impact of the coding changes on medical coders, healthcare staff, physicians, software systems, documentation, and information technology.

The textbooks for this program are included. This online certificate program is offered in partnership with major colleges, universities, and other accredited education providers.

I really enjoyed the lab, the virtual externship, and the hands-on externship portions of the course, because through those areas I was able to get the opportunity to gain exposure to the field and directly apply the information I learned throughout the course. My facilitator and the staff support were very helpful and responsive, and they always followed up with me to make sure my concerns were resolved.
